Harvey L. Vanier (April 21, 1924 - December 1, 2013) was an American trainer, owner and breeder of Thoroughbredracehorses. With his wife Nancy Aiken-Vanier, they owned and bred racehorses on their Fairberry Farm in Waterloo, Illinois.
Vanier began his career in Thoroughbred racing as a jockey, first riding as a boy of 12 at state and county fairs. Once old enough to obtain a professional license, he rode at Nebraska tracks. Weight gain ended his riding career in his late teens and in 1942 he turned to training. However, that was short-lived when he joined the United States Army and would serve in Europe during World War II.[1][2][3]
